Show notes

Dr. Jeanne Loring is a Professor Emeritus and Director of the Center for Regenerative Medicine at the Scripps Research Institute, and the co-founder of Aspen Neuroscience. Her lab works on a diverse range of projects using iPSCs, including developing cell replacement therapies for Parkinson’s disease, sending neural organoids into space, and partnering with the San Diego zoo to make iPSCs from engangered species.

Ep. 163: “Bone Tissue Regeneration” Featuring Dr. Joy Wu Mar 10, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Joy Wu is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Stanford University, and a a board-certified endocrinologist. With both basic and translational research, her lab studies stem cell therapies for bone formation and the prevention of cancer metastases to bone, as well as the bone marrow hematopoietic niche.

Ep. 162: “The Human Fetal Retina” Featuring Dr. Thomas Reh Feb 25, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Thomas Reh is a Professor of Biological Structure at the University of Washington School of Medicine. His research is aimed at stimulating more effective regeneration in the retina to restore vision in people that have lost their sight.

Ep. 161: “Generation of Functional and Mature Beta Cells” Featuring Priye Iworima Feb 11, 2020

Show notes

Priye Iworima is a PhD student at the University of British Columbia. Her project is focused on developing and optimizing a differentiation protocol for generating insulin-producing cells derived from stem cells that could be used as a potential therapy for type 1 diabetes.
